Cinder.... does this sound at all familiar? Yes.. Cinderella. This is a Cinderella story......but hold onto your hats. This story by Marissa Meyer is the most imaginative Cinderella story I have read!
This is a futuristic Cinderella where Cinder is a cyborg, part human, part machine. Of course there is a wonderful, handsome and kind prince who needs Cinder's expertise in fixing things like his robot, and an evil stepmother and stepsisters....but there is also Queen Levana who lives on the moon colony of Luna and who is determined to marry the Prince so she can become the next Empress. She will stop at nothing in order to achieve this, even to the point where she has orchestrated a plague that is killing millions of people and only she has the cure.
The first sequel of many is Scarlett, another very wonderfully creative retelling, followed by Cress next spring and then Winter, but not till 2015.
Read these!
